little over a month ago, the square cheering greeted the flight of corrupt president Ben Ali. But now that the phase transition is in its most chaotic, are day by day those who follow his example. Yesterday I arrived in Lampedusa only eleven, but within four days are already over five thousand Tunisians landed on the island of Sicily. In the center of identification and deportation yesterday there were over 2500 people. It should contain no more than 800. Lampedusa is not the only goal: even in Pozzallo and Pantelleria, in the province of Ragusa, were recorded in these days many landings. Interior Minister Maroni to the only possible solution is to militarize the Tunisian coast. The head of the Interior Ministry has proposed the dispatch of Italian troops in the country to block magheribino departures. To put it mildly irritated the reaction of the interim government: "We will not accept any interference."
Who in these days come to Lampedusa, especially the part from Zarzis, southern Tunisia. Not far from Djerba, in normal times is a place where Western tourists arrive en masse. But now those with boats large enough, not longer used for fishing or sightseeing. It is much more convenient to their countrymen through the 200 miles that separate the Mediterranean from Italy: a trip to the coast in fact among the thousand and two thousand euro. Not always possible to arrive. Yesterday, a boat was rammed by a Tunisian patrol boat. In 29 drowned. Instead of two boats, which were a few dozen miles from Lampedusa, you are untraceable.
Those which do manage to reach the island of Sicily are diverted through an air bridge and ferry quite precarious (yesterday was suspended for the day due to a breakdown of the means) to other centers in Sicily and in southern Italy . Those who manage to escape, try to continue their journey North. This is the case of the 118 Tunisian arrested yesterday in Bologna on board an Intercity, after leaving the service center for asylum seekers in Crotone. Interior Minister Maroni yesterday tried to download the blame on Europe.

"What happened in Tunisia is comparable to the fall of the Berlin Wall. For some time we have requested the European Commission but has not given us answers. Italy is addressing this matter with his own powers, "is the accusation by the head of the Interior Ministry. After some time has come, however, the denial of the EU Commissioner responsible for immigration Cecilia Malmstrom, "We offered our willingness to Italy but we were told no thanks. " The fact is that, before cashing the refusal of the Tunisian Italian patrol their territory, Maroni actually thought to settle things his own way. But the line of zero tolerance seems to have many allies among the European countries. Germany, France and Malta have announced yesterday that they are concerned "the immigrant will not pass." In short, full powers to Maroni.
